Since 1974, manufacturers across 30+ countries have trusted Superbond hot melt pressure sensitive adhesives for critical bonding solutions. Our performance-specific HMPSA formulations deliver reliable results across diverse applications from automotive assembly lines to packaging operations where performance matters most.
Hot melt pressure sensitive adhesives are solid at room temperature but soften and become tacky when heated. Once pressure is applied, they cool rapidly to create an instant, durable bond with the substrate requiring no drying and curing times which is why they are termed pressure sensitive adhesives. SuperBond’s Hot Melt Pressure Sensitive Adhesive formulations come in solid forms such as pellets, blocks, or sticks, which can be loaded into a hot melt adhesive application unit like a hot melt glue system, and applied efficiently through a roller, nozzle, or application gun.
SuperBond PSA adhesives are designed for versatility, performance, and eco-friendly use across diverse substrates like plastics, paper, metals, and fabrics ensuring reliable performance in various industries. These formulations provide strong, fast-setting, and durable bonds suitable for a wide range of industrial and consumer applications including medical tapes and bandages, packaging
SuperBond Hot Melt PSA are extensively used in hygiene products like sanitary napkins, baby diapers, and adult incontinence products. These adhesives are skin-safe, preventing irritation while providing secure, comfortable bonding even for long-term wear.

Hot Melt Pressure Sensitive Adhesive (HMPSA) combines advanced hot melt technology with pressure-sensitive bonding for a fast and efficient adhesive process.
This process ensures quick bonding with durable adhesion ideal for various industrial applications.
Ensure the HMPSA solid adhesive blocks or pellets are ready and the application surface (substrate) is clean and dry.
Heat the HMPSA until it melts, typically using specialised hot melt adhesive equipment. The adhesive becomes molten and ready for application.
Apply the molten adhesive evenly to the substrate using rollers, spray systems, or nozzles depending on the production setup.
Allow the adhesive to cool down naturally or through controlled cooling systems. It will stay tacky (sticky) but solid enough to bond.
Press the second substrate or surface firmly against the adhesive-coated surface to form an instant, strong bond.
Maintain pressure briefly until the bond is secure and complete. The adhesive will provide durable, flexible, and long-lasting adhesion.
Our HMPSA adhesives by SuperBond, deliver immediate adhesion upon pressure application eliminating the need for curing or other activation processes speeding up the production cycles. Our performance specific formulations are engineered to fulfill the needs of various industries including automobile, packaging, medical, etc due to their high tack bonding and temperature resistance across a range of substrates like plastic, paper, metals and fabrics.
The standout feature of Superbond’s HMPSA lies in their metallocene-based polymer technology.This cutting-edge formulation approach enables superior performance characteristics compared to conventional hot melt pressure sensitive adhesives providing enhanced thermal stability, improved adhesion properties, and greater consistency in performance across varying environmental conditions.
With more than five decades of high-strength bonding expertise in the adhesive industry, you can trust Superbond for delivering tailored adhesive solutions for your industry specific needs.
Choose SuperBond for:
SuperBond HMPSA is produced through a specialized process involving formulation, precise mixing of polymers and additives, degassing, cooling, and packaging using advanced equipment like reactors and vacuum systems for consistent quality.
HMPSAs avoid solvents and water, enabling faster set times, environmentally friendly low VOC emissions, and less complex drying processes, making them ideal for high-speed production lines.
Yes, formulations can be customised for viscosity, tack, peel strength, and temperature resistance to meet specialised coating and bonding demands.
Application typically involves hot melt adhesive units equipped with rollers, nozzles, or spray systems with precise temperature and feed controls to ensure uniform bonding.
Pre-heating substrates can improve bond strength by allowing better adhesive wetting before cooling and setting, while cold substrates can result in weaker adhesion due to rapid cooling.
While HMPSA adheres to diverse materials, extremely porous or highly textured surfaces may require surface treatments or primers for optimal bonding.
Special formulations enable strong yet clean peel adhesion, suitable for reclosable packaging and removable labels without residue.
HMPSA bonds resist moisture, temperature extremes, chemicals, vibration, and mechanical stress, maintaining integrity in demanding environments.
Continuous monitoring of viscosity, melt flow, bonding strength, and environmental regulations ensures consistent product performance and safety.
Yes, HMPSA’s rapid setting and compatible application methods make it well-suited for seamless integration into automated production lines for high efficiency.
